More than 10,000 vehicle orders were placed for the 2015 Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan (earlier post) on the day the vehicle ordering system opened on 8 May, and more than 17,000 vehicle orders were placed in the first two days, Chrysler said. The Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly Plant (SHAP) is at full production through mid-July.

With a starting US Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $21,700 (excluding destination), the 2015 Chrysler 200 is available in four different models: the 2015 Chrysler 200 LX model; Chrysler Limited model; Chrysler 200S model; and the premium Chrysler 200C.

The car features a segment-first standard nine-speed automatic transmission; electronic shifting with a rotary e-dial; and available all-wheel-drive system that reduces parasitic losses with a disconnection rear axle.
